...looked at the kitche and got a general sense of the damage. Plates and glase was broken everywhere. Our chimney came off and parts of the stucko ceiling had come down.

Luckily my parents had earthquake insurance and I can't recomend this enough for anyone who lives in Southern California. Earthquakes are just something we have to deal with and while insurance can feel like a suckers bet - when the time comes and it's needed, one is very glad to have it.

The lesson I learned was one of being calm in the eye of the storm. When the aftershocks seemed to subside my... (more)

...pretty much on the money there “Ah-nold”, but now, the question is, “what are you going to do about it?”

Well, how about not threatening to cut the paychecks of the people who actually make this state run? How about cutting your salary and the salaries of the members of the California State legislature? There’s a good start. How about stop footing the bill for the medical costs of illegal aliens? That would make a HUGE dent in the budget deficit. It works like this:

This is for all my Northern California Readers. I don’t normally like to write bad reviews but this is warranted, especially in the times where money is tight and if you do go out to eat, you want a pleasant dining experience for your money.

As a promise to my mom when I move down here to lovely sunny and recently Earth shooken Los Angeles, I come home once a month to visit.

(GDP) by $37 billion a year by increasing the size of the labor force, complimenting
the native-born worker. Again, we have conflicting
information on the subject of wages, in this report by Giovanni Peri, Associate
Professor of Economics at the University of California-Davis. Immigration raises wages for most Americans, by
availing themselves to lower paying jobs and not competing for higher educated
requirements of some jobs.

To further support the benefits

Santa Monica-I arrived at Clover Park at 2600 Ocean Park Blvd. just in time to catch the last couple of tunes performed by Masanga Marimba as they presented a set of popular music and dance of Zimbabwe and Latin America. I had the pleasure of seeing this group on two prior occasions-California Plaza during Grand Performances Concert Series and at Hollywood and Highland. The group has since recorded two CD’s- self titled Masanga Marimba Ensemble and Mas Masanga and added two energetic dancers Ronnie Daliyo and Julia Chiyambo.

...it is information like this that the authority structure of the JW is afraid of, so rummage around the internet, read books, check it out for yourselves (check out his video on freemasons on the internet it’s entitled Jordan Maxwell “Basic slide Presentation” January 20, 1993 Arcadia, California). What you will learn is that the big secret has been all around us everyday of our lives, (“us” being the common men and women of the world, and the big secret is the massive symbolism that is all around us, staged there by the secret society, symbols that represent their control over...

...Stage. Susie Hansen Latin Band was holding court on this outdoor stage. Violinist Susie Hansen Latin Band is a popular group here in Los Angeles. The salseros on the West coast are sure to catch this hot band on many occasions between now and the end of the year at various events throughout California.

...or cultivated. Card carrying patients can possess one ounce of “usable” marijuana and cultivate seven plants without the fear of arrest. Unfortunately, the amending of state drug laws cannot trump federal drug laws. This has been made painfully obvious in the last few years in California, where federal authorities raided several medical marijuana “pharmacies.” The United States Federal Government doesn’t care about the wishes of the majority except during election time.

Apparently, the passing of Ballot Question 9 has ruffled a few feathers in the... (more)

...nation. We want the police to get the danger off our streets, but we have made them out to be bad guys, rather than good guys. Granted, I am the first to admit I have a prejudice against police sometimes. I have seen them talk on their cell phones while driving (I thought that was illegal in California?), heard stories of abuse of power and incompetence, and gotten mad when they pull me over for going too fast, even though I know I am in the wrong. However, they are out there doing their jobs and sacrificing their lives to make our cities safer. We may not always like it, but we would be a... (more)
